See i think the opposite. if they think it's likely King will go as soon as he can they may want to maximize value now, and pick 3 is certainly a good return. would be a win-win for both clubs.

Offer them our 2020 first rounder for Keith and Laird and back ourselves to improve next year.

Langdon, Elliot, Tomlinson, pick 3/11&13 just need to find one or two good on field leaders to boost that area and it's a very productive off season.

Exactly. on field leadership in my opinion is our biggest concern in terms of list changes heading into 2020. not sure of who would be suitable targets to fill that role but it's definitely something we need to address.

I think it's at the very least debatable. our on field leadership is a mess for a team that should be much more advanced than the Suns.

I don't think Oliver is quite on the level of the guns mentioned above. his best certainly matches them but i felt like he never really hit that this season, for whatever reason. an absolute gun though.

Heard that, he seemed very confident. i hope he's right. Noah Anderson would look very good in red and blue.

Big fan of Stephens, fits the outside run need perfectly. and weightman does some insane things. Sadly i see both being drafted before the two picks. it really depends on who the club thinks is likely to be there to what value the trade has. I think Lachie Ash for example would be a great get at pick 3

Our club has the worst leadership of any club in the AFL. even the Suns with Witts, Swallow, Miller etc have better on field leadership. we need to invest in someone like a Nick Maxwell figure to come into the club and develop leadership from our whole list. it doesn't matter who is captain and who isn't, the underlying problem is our lack of leadership across the board, it's why we are so inconsistent, slow to react to opposition plays and consistently lose in the worst ways possible. my personal opinion is we should recruit 2 on field leaders from other clubs, must be proven leaders, invest in a specific leadership coach/mentor and finally instill some ruthless, professional AFL standards at the club that we haven't had for a very long time, if at all.

I suspect the GCS would jump at him unfortunately.

Third round pick and Issac Smith sounds like a good deal to me, i think we could use the experience.

He's a funny unit Sam. he athletically is amazing but he does some bizzare things, i think he's a talanted individual but the amount of times he flies at balls he shouldn't and does weird things with ball in hand. you kinda want guys who just fill a role, especially down back and i think Sam is probably one who has currency,

What's his kicking like? i've honestly not seen that much of him, i always thought he seemed a bit like a high endurance high half forward type, maybe a third forward, but from memory he's played some reasonable footy down back as well?

that's the million dollar question.

within our game plan i'd say it's about high speed endurance 2 way running and getting involved in possessions chains and supporting both ends, so needs to be a crazy good runner and good disposal. which he may well be but i just haven't seen it personally.

I don't see what need he fills, i don't think he's a key forward, maybe on the wing but i will watch with interest to see if they have a role in mind of if it's just recruiting for the sake of it.

where would we be intending to play him? i reckon he'd make a good high half forward, lead up and provide that link inside the forward 50

Maccas role included a component of list management, he was one of the ones directly involved there, i wonder if with his exit Richo steps straight into that role and looks at the list, or if we have someone else in mind from within to step up, i would say we'll have 2-3 other assistants to come in replacing Jennings and Rawlings so far so it'll be interesting to see where it all ends up. Richo to me strikes me as someone who learned what it takes to be a successful coach when it was all too late for him at St Kilda so i suspect that experience will be huge for Goodwin, and hopefully preventing a similar sort of end to his coaching career.

I'm not sure about under Roos. but i've heard Peter Jackson and Jordan Lewis were both at stages concerned about it. as was Macca. but ultimately when we're making finals and in a prelim it doesn't seem like as big an issue as when we're 17th. there was stuff about this flying around at the time of the pre season camp drama, so it's been going on a while, but i think this season has really made a few people show their true selves a little bit.

Yep. i've heard he's got a lot of people offside just being incredibly stubborn, unable to take critisism and unwilling to change. it's players, assistants, staff. Buckley and Hardwick were similar but they changed. Goodwin either needs to change or go in my opinion because we can't lose good football people over this in my view,

I've heard very similar. it's his way or the highway. and some he's getting a few players offside as well. Sadly if half the stuff flying around is true we may need to make that decision soon.

We are mad if we don't dangle pick 3 under their nose for King.

If we took that deal we might as well fold the club.

I'd do 11, 13 and finlayson right now.

Hahahaha lets just bloody trade everyone. hearing we are going to sign jeffy again just so we can trade him
